  1. The following CFUs, myeloid (CFU-GM), erythroid (BFU-E), mixed (CFU-GEMM), megakaryocytic (CFU-MK) and bone marrow stromal (CFU-F) have been tested for the effects of APS or TPO treatment. A, B, C and D indicates treatment groups that have significantly different treatment effects. N: Normal, cells cultured in the presence of cytokine and serum; C: Control, cells grown in cytokine serum-depleted media; APS: Angelica Sinensis Polysaccharide; TPO: Thrombopoietin.
